| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II Albertporter and Jafox, thank you. Would either one of you provide a short primer on what to look for on a Telefunken. I know, for example, that on Siemens tubes, one looks for differences in the risers (grey vs shiny), getter support construction... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II Jafox, I'm interested in trying a pair of Telefunken 6DJ8. Having never purchased a pair, I'm interested in any tips you could provide regarding what to look for, i.e. getter type, construction, date codes, etc.I have a couple pairs of 6DJ8/6922 t... | |
| I've found the cd player for analog lovers Congratulations. | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier There's nearly exhaustive info available on this unit in the archives. I'd suggest buying one used...trying it in your system...and going from there. They are readily available used. | |
| IS AUDIO ART CABLES THE REAL THING ...you should try the cable.Bbaxley2 (System | Threads | Answers)Thanks. I'm very happy with my present cabling, but thanks for the tip. | |
| IS AUDIO ART CABLES THE REAL THING 08-03-06: Bbaxley2seams you have done that to me before tvad,i could be wrong. Since you called me on it, I looked through all your threads, and I believe you're wrong.In fact, I supported your comments in the "Best Tweak" thread. | |
| IS AUDIO ART CABLES THE REAL THING Sorry to have stepped on your toes, Bbaxley2. I'm sure your Audio Art IC3 cables are quite good.Trust your ears. | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308, CCa, etc I fully agree with tube/circuit synergy. I am the owner of a component that utilizes 6DJ8 and 12AU7 tubes, and the units ship with NOS tubes. I have found certain NOS tubes that I particularly like in this unit, and I have purchased several pairs ... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308, CCa, etc Thank you, Atmasphere for that explanation.Another way to describe the difference is that circuits with 6SN7s sound more refined, while those with 6DJ8s sound more brash.Atmasphere (Threads | Answers)In general, I find this to be true when compari... | |
| Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers Plyboo... So if you consider 3/4" thick solid bamboo plywood to be a veneer...then yes E.D. uses a bamboo veneer.;^)Heavystarch (Reviews | Threads | Answers)The Plyboo product is made of 100% bamboo material, but the final cosmetic layer is a vene... | |
| Smoking Buds Those are great prices, and the return makes it close to a no-brainer......and now an update which points up the reason I take all reviews with a large bowl of sea salt. The reviewer of the Ultimate Ears 5Pro, Phil Gold, admits in his new review o... | |
| Smoking Buds Grant, do you use yours with an Ipod or the like? So $250 is a justifiable (audiophilic) expense for the Nano? $250 is the list. I'd appreciate any info as to where to purchase. thanks in advance...warren :)Warrenh (System | Reviews | Threads | An... | |
| IS AUDIO ART CABLES THE REAL THING The audiophile cable market is overcrowded. Plenty of good stuff already: neutral, not neutral, expensive, inexpensive.Stop with the new cables already. High end audio needs a new cable like the paper industry needs a new folded napkin. FWIW, IMO,... | |
| Smoking Buds I have the Ultimate Ears 5pro on my radar. $250 (or less). They are a less fancy version of other Ultimate Ears, Shure-based earbuds, but without the custom molded earpieces.They have been positively reviewed at StereoTimes.com | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308, CCa, etc So I was just letting you in on what I have found to be true over the years (I think most of the more respected people posting here do exactly the same). I hope this is not troublesome.Atmasphere (Threads | Answers)What you have written is not tro... |
